Fred Leavis - Arthur Reynolds

Jack Sharp - Jack Smythe

Allen Kilfoyle - Jack Williams

Jack Newlands - Speedy Jack

Bert Gerrish - Herb Peters

 

There was also Johnny Bull who may have been Eric Spencer, but may not...

 

All of them rode at Norwich in the early 1930s. The reason they rode under assumed names was because they were contracted to ride for other clubs (Leavis and Sharp for Wimbledon for example) and Norwich was an unlicensed track.

There was also a rider named Roy Williams who rode at Berwick and Newtongrange (I think) under another name but I can not remember what it was - help?
